No one said it was.

Did Obama, Pelosi, and Reid choose to continue to leave marijuana on the list of federally prosecutable crimes? Or not?

If they did would that be an acceptable justification for Trump/Sessions to do the same?

Is the current administration more hostile to the state level legalization initiatives than the last one?

I'm all for the decriminalization of all drugs, but "medical marijuana" is such a joke. I don't know a single person that has their card that didn't already habitually smoke weed before they "needed" if for medical reasons including myself. The only reason any of us even renew our cards is because you still can't grow without one up in WA where I spend half the year.

Enoough with this Medical marijuana BS. Let's just legalize it on a federal level already smh






Medical marijuana LOL

Did you read the Gallup Poll I posted? This is a Dem/Ind thing. Not a Republican thing.

Obama, Pelosi, and Reid CHOSE to continue to leave marijuana on the list of federally prosecutable crimes.

Guess it comes down to whether the AG chooses to prosecute, then.

And what choice did the conservative states-rights defender of individual liberty make? Ooopsie.

It's comments like these that keeps people like Sessions pushing so hard. Just idiotic, naive, or a host of other words I can come up with. I won't even bother arguing about the recreational side of MJ. Just go ahead and drink your alcohol and smoke your cigarettes, and provide me all the death rates and solid proof of how dangerous a gateway drug it is.

On the medical MJ side, this is where you and others are so blatantly either stupid or have stock in pharmaceuticals. After watching my wife with chronic pain (got it 6 years ago) go through countless scripts causing more side effects than actually helping, her being on the medical MJ program hasn't made her better, but it certainly has been by far the best medicinal approach to her pain she's had.

So yeah, any excuse out there. All the high and mighties against medical use are just so ignorant in my eyes.

Fed law is fed law. If Dems didn't like it, they should have repealed it as their constituents clearly support. Obama, Pelosi, and Reid had that chance. They bailed out Wall Street, but didn't decriminalize marijuana.

That's how they roll. /shrug
